The UK fire and security training provider Skills for Security is running its flagship event, Engineering Futures: A Celebration on Tuesday, June 10, from 5.30pm to 8.30pm at the Royal Academy of Engineering in London..
Now in its third year, this annual event brings together employers, sponsors and fire and security sector figures to reflect on progress, and look to the future of engineering and technical education in the UK. Having been held at the House of Lords in its first two years, the move highlights the event’s growing stature and relevance, say organisers. David Scott, Managing Director of Skills for Security, is pictured at last year’s event.
He said: “This is more than just an event – it’s a celebration of collaboration and commitment across our industry. Over the past year, we’ve seen remarkable growth and resilience, made possible by our passionate team, our loyal sponsors and our employer partners who consistently invest in young talent. This occasion, moving to a more indicative venue gives us the opportunity to reflect, to say thank you, and to share our ambitious vision for what’s coming next.”
Showcase
Skills for Security reports that it continues to address the widening skills gap in the security industry through the delivery of apprenticeships, training, and development opportunities including a debut Careers Fair. SfS says its approach places employers and learners at the centre of the experience, ensuring training is not only relevant but also future-ready.
Guests will hear from David Scott; alongside Simon Banks, SfS chairman on the evolution of the sector, and network with peers from across engineering, education, and security. Three awards will recognise excellence across employers.
Simon Banks added: “With a growing community of supporters and a commitment to workforce development, Skills for Security is proud to champion the professionals of tomorrow. This celebration is a reminder of what we can achieve when we come together to raise standards, invest in people and secure the future of our industry. I look forward to welcoming our guests to what promises to be another unforgettable evening.”
